Performance of the greedy-BTC method for Pseudomonas data. A) The greedy Best Total Coverage score for k = 1–10 model organisms, for the Pseudomonas RFLP distances, is shown by the crosses. For each value of k the box and whisker plot indicates the quartiles (i.e. the box indicates those 50 % of the values closest to the median) and range for 1000 random choices of model organisms. Total Coverage scores were produced by adding up the percentage of organisms represented at each of 20 threshold value intervals (0, 0.05, 0.10,...,0.95 and 1.0); they are reported as a percentage of the maximum possible Total Coverage score. B) Histogram showing the Total Coverage scores of 1000 random choices of model organism, the arrow indicates the Total Coverage score for the BTC choice of model strain.
